ok here goes. i have a friend with a 95(i think) 300zx NA. he swapped a TT motor into it, and is doing a TT rear subframe swap. he will sell me his NA rear subframe for dirt cheap, and i was wondering what all i could use. hes selling me everything, bakes, 5 lug, dif. EVERYTHING connected to the rear subframe basically. now i know about the 5 lug and brakes and **** but is there anything besides these few things that would be worth swapping over as well? or able to swap over to. can anyone see any problems i could run into swapping all this **** over?

you can use the differential too. its a VLSD, and if its in working order, it would be good to swap over. 5lug, check, brakes, check... but be careful about the rear ebrake setup, it can be a pain to get working properlyon an s13 you can use the aluminum rear uprights, but you have to get coilovers fitted for an s13 but with z32 lower strut mounts (splparts can hook you up like that on their KTS coilovers)

i don't know if the diff is a direct swap, maybe someone with some experience can chime in.i think there is also a writeup on ka24development.com

yeah i have write ups on alot of the stuff. i was concerned about that ebrake deal. is it needed with the z brake upgrade? i was a little confused about that. also about the alu. rear uprights, i know, and i just bought a set of megan coilovers too, so i wont be putting those on.
